I think in going for the reflection some intimacy was lost. Still a lovely shot. Good luck in the challenge.

The bird's ponderously graceful take-off, and its gauzy reflection, appear within a somewhat dream-like, light blue setting. As the moment unfolds the bird disappears upward out of the frame, and its reflection glides across the water, likewise disappearing. That's the continuing charm of the image.

Nice action and the reflection in the water just adds to it

This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)

Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.

This is one of my 8s - I like it. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. Not my usual cup of tea but this is so well constructed, it got me to stop and look.
2. Nailed focus - crucial in a shot like this.
4. A complete lack of motion unsharpness too - again, crucial.
5. Great colours counterpointing the largely monochromatic water.
6. Killer reflection.

A technical tour de force.
